I have a musical called Goodbye and Good Luck based on a Grace Paley short story. I also have King Island Christmas and there are 20 different productions of it this year.

I'm not particularly a feminist but if you get women off the animal cycle of reproduction and give them some say in how many children they'll have immediately the floor will rise.

I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.

I did a production of 'Journey's End ' an RC Sherriff play about World War I at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said 'You know you could really do this if you wanted to.'

The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.

The attention of a traveller should be particularly turned in the first place to the various works of Nature to mark the distinctions of the climates he may explore and to offer such useful observations on the different productions as may occur.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

And the buying of new machinery meant not only the possibility of production but even the new technology 'cos as I mentioned before we were back of seven eight years.

All the technology of our production was still pre-War. They were sort of '38 '39 and the War had been stable and so we were infinitely behind whatever had been going on in the United States for instance.

Every time new technology is introduced especially involving reproduction you get the 'yuck' effect.

I was using tape loops for dancers and dance production. I had very funky primitive equipment in fact technology wasn't very good no matter how much money you had.

The rapid dissemination of technology and information offers entirely new ways of production but it can also bring the spectre of more states developing weapons of mass destruction.

It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction the objects the technology. It really adds up.

I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.

What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.

In the industrial revolution Britain led the world in advances that enabled mass production: trade exchanges transportation factory technology and new skills needed for the new industrialised world.

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics atomic structure or biological inheritance.

Capitalist production therefore develops technology and the combining together of various processes into a social whole only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.

I put £150 000 into the stage production of Grease and have got back £1.5 million so far. It has been a fantastic success.

The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.

In the 18th century James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny and Richard Arkwright pioneered the water-propelled spinning frame which led to the mass production of cotton. This was truly revolutionary. The cotton manufacturers created a whole new class of people - the urban proletariat. The structure of society itself would never be the same.

The society based on production is only productive not creative.

Carl took on the military-industrial complex. He campaigned around the world for an end to the production of weapons of mass destruction. To him it was a perversion of science.
